Biography and art, auction, artworks, interview, statement, website:Johanna Natalie WintschNeedlework by early-20th-century psychiatric patient Johanna Natalie Wintsch is an unexpected but very welcome inclusion. Wintschs handiwork mixes enigmatic statements with theosophical symbolism, giving form to the inner thoughts of private and perceived worlds. In one work, text stitched in red and blue thread around the perimeter of the fabric forms a frame around an empty centre that reads, Qui se mire bien se voit (He who mirrors himself well, sees well) and Les Yeux Dans Les Yeux (The Eyes In the Eyes). The motif of mirroring and reflection extends to translations of other artists works as well..
